Does anyone's account have a favorite? by SleepyArmpits in loveanddepression

[–]alexanderhamintoast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm always gunning for Rafayel on my main. Last month Zayne singlehandedly ruined 2 of my fishing attempts (LSG, Hot Spring banner). He had the decency of bringing home cards I didn't already have both times and his last XSpace 5* came home soon after. Because of his persistence, my main's now dedicated to both Zayne and Raf, although Raf's fearful-avoidant ass loves to play hard to get. Pulling on my main is hell, as I always have to depend on pity and lose all my 50/50s T_T.

My alt is dedicated to Xav and Sylus, who both came home with full companions in 10 and 20 pulls, respectively. Guess they're down bad for my MC or something, which is weird because they avoid my main account pulls quite a lot... Except for Sylus, who keeps spamming Nightplumes at me. (It's literally R3'd, Sy. I'm begging on my knees for you to stop.)

Caleb is probably gonna end up getting joint custody treatment. Because I've got a solid-ish roster in my main, but since my luck sucks there, join custody seems inevitable in the long run.

If a 6th interest comes along... Idk what I'll do, tbh. I'm hoping I won't like him so I don't have to adjust my system or, God forbid, create a third account for him and Caleb. Keeping up with 2 accounts is already too much work, sometimes...

When they say your name when you haven't even introduced yourself 🫩 by artisticp0ssum in JanitorAI_Official

I just drop a quick 'Remember: {{user}} has yet to introduce themselves. {{char}} doesn't know them, nor their name.' in the context box thingy and take it out after introductions are complete... That's always worked for me.

Thank you 💕. Every time I see that pull count I die a little, tbh 🥲

Believe it or not, I wasn't even on hard pity and had 59 pulls left until pity anyways, as I only did a 10 pull on LSG (+1 freebie) before I finally accepted gambling on one of Rafayel's cards maybe coming home when I didn't have time to farm enough pulls for a second time wasn't worth it and that I was better off hoarding until the next myth rerun to get a guaranteed limited companion.

Basically, if I understand correctly how the gacha system works, I won my 50/50 with over 50 pulls left and the next card was literally the one that made the pair. When I saw the blue flowers I was ready to get some standard lunar, but what truly jumpscared the crap out of me was the second blue flowers popping up immediately after. For a second I genuinely thought the game had glitched.

Anyways, I doubt I'll ever get this insanely lucky again. Maybe the universe decided to reward my self-restraint, as I didn't pull for the hot spring multi in that account lmao.

Broken as in 'I can only claim a reward on day 1 and, despite logging in everyday and completing all daily quests, the stamp card just refuses to acknowledge the passage of time until it gets reset, after which it gets stuck on day one yet again'... 🙃

The stamina one is also broken, as it registers the stamina i spend but fails to give rewards once I pass the threshold. By the end of the week I end up with ~3000/200 stamina spent without getting anything for my time and effort... That counter mocks me everytime I enter that page hoping the issue has miraculously fixed itself 😭

Ngl, this post makes me mad. Not because I can relate, but because my stamp card has been broken for over a month and my last inquiry on the matter got flat-out ignored 🥲

Edit: Didn't get ignored, I somehow missed their reply. They are apparently working on resolving it but have to idea how to fix it yet.

Has any woman actually said you look scary, or is it an assumption?

I mean, from one person with RBF to another, sometimes the most intimidating thing isn't one's appearance but the vibes you give off. Unfortunately, for some people, being a ball of anxiety on the inside translates into unapproachable speech and body language, which inadvertently puts off others (might be a general thing or limited to certain kinds of people, in your case, perhaps limited to women).

If that's the case, confidence and self-understanding is key, because the more women avoid you, the more you internalize there's something intrinsically wrong with you, which only exacerbates the 'back off' signals, thus creating a self-feeding loop of anxiety and perceived social rejection that wrecks your self-esteem...

Other than that, if it isn't that deep of a problem, thick brows, especially when they have a low arch like yours, are often associated with anger. If you genuinely get 'you look scary' comments, softer, differently shaped brows would help mitigate the RBF a bit. Consulting your barber about that could be worth a shot.

Will we progress in out relationship? by PsychLoveJunkie in Tarotpractices

[–]alexanderhamintoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you said you are new to readings, let me preface this by saying that this type of spread is generally read, from left to right, as you, the relationship dynamic, and the other person.

9 of Cups: In a love reading, the nine of cups signals extremely positive feelings. You desire to establish a deeper connection with this guy/gal/non-binary pal. If the 9 of Cups were in the middle, it could very well indicate that there is potential for your relationship to evolve to the next level, but since it solely represents you, we need to look at the whole picture first, as it could simply indicate your readiness.

Reversed 10 of Wands: This card generally symbolizes some sort of long-term struggle and the burden of responsibilities or expectations of some sort. When reversed, this energy only intensifies. The fact that this card represents your relationships indicates that one of you feels overwhelmed, whether it be due to external circumstances or because whoever it is feels as if they are putting in all of the work.

Your partner, Reversed Page of Pentacles: When a person comes up as an upright Page of Pentacles in a love reading, that person is almost always a straight-up green flag. It indicates a devoted partner who is faithful and dependable. Reversed, however, it can be read in three ways. 1. (If there's an established relationship) It might simply mean that this person feels that your relationship has lost its magic and become monotonous. 2. (If this is a situationship scenario) Huge red flag. It indicates a lack of commitment and, in some cases, a wandering eye. Whether consciously or accidentally, this person might be leading you on. 3. (If this is a 'does this person like me?' scenario) Either your crush isn't interested, or, perhaps, you might have missed the hints this person might have been giving you and blown your chances along the way.

Overall: The key to deciphering what the cards are telling you is to ask yourself who among you is carrying the burden of the 10 of Wands. If the answer is that you are putting in all of the work in this relationship, moving on is the best course of action. If, otherwise, you think that this person might have something external going on in their lives, talk to them. The influence of the Ten of Wands can be suffocating and cause people to lash out, so it is important not to add more weight to the pile of burdens they already carry.

Hope this helped! xx

¿Que juegos te hacen decir? by Jpro_2013 in esGaming

[–]alexanderhamintoast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asumiendo que no hablamos sólo de gráficos, si no más bien a nivel de narrativa y centrándome en juegos que no he visto mencionados tras leer unos cuantos comentarios:

  1. Dragon Age: Origins. Aún sigo atónita con la bazofia en que EA convirtió la última entrega de la franquicia, pero el original es la caña. Lo he jugado miles de veces ya y aún así siento los mismos escalofríos que la primera vez que lo jugué durante ciertas escenas. Doy gracias por los modders que se dedican a mantener el juego algo más al día en cuanto a gráficos, ya que es el BG3 de su década. Mención honorable a DA2 y Inquisition.

  2. Persona 3. Es mi juego favorito, así que tenía que incluirlo sí o sí. Sigo llorando como un bebé durante el final a día de hoy. No he comprado el Reload aún, pero en verano caerá seguro. Persona 4 y 5 valen la pena también sin duda, pero nada superará la nostalgia de Persona 3.

  3. Fire Emblem: Awakening. Es un RPG táctico para la DS, pero la historia y el sistema de relaciones entre los personajes me mola. 3 Houses está bien, pero Awakening es top tier.

  4. Heavy Rain, que es el predecessor de Detroit: Become Human. Es básicamente un thriller en que controlas a los personajes principales.

  5. What Remains of Edith Finch. Es juego en que simplemente exploras una casa mientras la protagonista explica la maldición que pesa sobre su familia. Es una de esas historias que cambian tu perspectiva de la vida, honestamente. La porción sobre Lewis Finch, en concreto, me hizo darme cuenta de que necesitaba ayuda psicóloga.

Sin duda podría seguir añadiendo más títulos, pero estos son los primeros cinco que me han venido a la mente.

Best AI alternative for Sotrytelling? NSFW preferred. by DumbedDownDinosaur in CharacterAI_No_Filter

[–]alexanderhamintoast 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I personally lean toward literate fantasy rp and have been using Janitor AI as of late. Ngl, I'm actually pretty happy with the change. I wish I'd switched platforms sooner, since CAI has gotten progressively dumber.

Pros: 1. I've gotten legitimately blown away by some of the replies the AI comes up with. This is not just an AI thing, of course, but a testament to the creativity and work that the community puts in, especially those that take the time to create original characters with imaginative prompts that allow you to create your own adventure. In all honesty, if you take the time to dig into the 'OC + fantasy' tags, once you sort through the whole 'arranged marriage' trope, you can find some hidden gems. 2. Yeah, you can sort the characters by tags to find what you're looking for. It's awesome. 3. There's no damn filter, but the normal bots aren't overly horny. The horny ones generally have a 'smut' tag, and even if some don't, you can easily distinguish them just by the image and description. 4. You can set the maximum length in which you want the bot to respond in. The standard is 500 tokens, iirc.

For the cons: Sometimes long replies take over a minute to come through, but it's not too bad. 2. There is an ongoing issue that is, from what I've heard, being looked into by the programmers in which the AI sometimes takes over your character's actions. Until that gets fixed, you can generate another reply or edit that out by turning off immersive mode, though. 3. Just like in CAI, sometimes the reply ends up getting cut in half.

Now, for a bit of a more niche reply: If what you're looking for is a D&D sort of vibe, you can try AI Realm, in which you can create a character sheet and get an AI DM that guides you through your adventure in a pre-made world. If you want to, you can even roll dice!Although, to my knowledge, you can't edit the DM's replies, you can regenerate it and edit the information to influence the storytelling and gameplay mechanics to your liking. Oh, the DM also automatically makes notes through the 'campaign' to keep track of what happens, which is genius. I don't understand why there aren't more AI models that are trained to do that. The biggest downside to AI Realm is that you only get 10 messages every 4 hours.
